Basic Tactics Of Go
The fundamental tactics in go might be divided into half-a-dozen categories, such as:
- tactics for direct capture (such as ladder, net, snapback, double atari)
- capturing races
- two eyes and all the associated theory of life and death
- cutting and connecting, starting with cutting points (see shapes and connections)
- attack and defence of territory, as in the endgame
- ko (see ko fighting).
